RE: Re: NAS or WHS

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I must be doing something wrong then, since toolkit will not let me
specify a group from anywhere other than the trigger control
application.. - see the attached screenie. It only lists the groups from
the trigger control application in the dropdown, and it won't let me
override the selection by manually typing in a different group name in
the box...

I am doing this in the config on the unit where the scene is stored, on
the scenes tab, at the bottom of the window, just to the right of the
"Edit scenes" button.
